well to start heres a link to where you can find info on iguana care just scroll to the reptile section:

Next it looks like the tank you have chosen looks ok, but i would recommend one that is a bit longer than it is taller. and the light it comes with will not work for the iguana. Your iguana will need UVB rays along with UVA, so a full spectrum with UVB is a must otherwise it will get sick. and as far as adding any fish it is probably not the best idea for this habitat, it will be really hard to maintain, and it will give the iguana less room, especially as he gets bigger, thats why a longer tank is better than a tall one so he’ll have room to move. If you want fish i would just get a separate tank for that. And as far as how many you can house i would only have 1 since they can be pretty territorial.
Don’t get an iguana. It doesn’t seem like you are very experienced with reptiles based on the questions you’ve asked and iguanas are very advanced reptiles that take a lot of care. An easier first lizard would be a bearded dragon and no, they don’t need a tank full of water so nooo fish.
